Short answer: in Orlando, engagement sessions usually run from a few hundred dollars to over $1,000, depending on the photographer, how long the shoot is, how many locations, and whether video is included. With us, an engagement session starts at $750 on its own, and it's free when you book your 2027 wedding photo and film.
What changes the price
- The photographer's experience and style. You're paying for their art. (Why that matters)
- How long the shoot is. An hour versus two hours with outfit changes.
- Number of locations. Moving between spots takes time and travel.
- Video. Short clips for social media take extra shooting and editing.
- Editing. How many photos you get and how much retouching.
- Permits and travel. Some gardens charge for photo permits, and farther spots add travel.

Is it worth paying for an engagement shoot?
I think so, for one big reason: it's practice for your wedding day. You get comfortable in front of the camera, you learn how your photographer works, and they learn your best angles. Your wedding photos come out better because of it.
